Briar Pipes and Tattoo Shops

Jason Dunn and myself hanging out in-front of the shop after a day of tattooing. I've been collecting and smoking briar pipes for 18 years (off & on), and I've been friends with Jason almost as long. Jason is smoking a rusticated Radice Hawkbill pipe (made in Italy by Luigi Radice), and I'm smoking a rusticated Don Carlos pipe (made in Italy by Bruto Sordini). Both Jason and I collect mostly Italian and Danish handmade briars. The tobacco we're smoking is a locally blended Virgina mix, known around here as, 'Dave's Mix', one of my favorite all-around pipe tobacco blends.
